Stay healthy while having fun under the sun this summer. Here are a few reminders to safely get by summer while observing physical distancing.

Summer activities. Staying active this summer in your home is a challenge, but you can still have your own summer fun. There are indoor activities you can do with your family— play time, doing household chores, brief fun exercise during commercials at TV time, or a dance exercise to sweat out toxins.

Don’t forget your sunscreen and insect repellents. Whether you’re spending the summer indoors or outdoors, make sure to apply sunscreen and insect repellent. Isn’t it better to avoid those unwanted sunburns, blisters, and insect bites rather than deal with them after a fun day under the sun?

Stay cool, hydrated, and informed. Before leaving your home, check your weather updates and watch out for heatwaves. Make sure to have an umbrella, a bottle of water, and a portable fan with you.

Eat healthy meals, drink refreshing beverages. A tasty meal isn’t always healthy, but a healthy meal is always tasty. Stock up on fruits that are rich in nutrients and water— watermelon, mango, and papaya are among the fruits that contain a high percentage of water. Sweeten your water by infusing fruits and herbs.
